Early Prophylactic Aspirin for Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

This study is a multicenter, prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate whether early prophylactic use of aspirin improves functional outcomes in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Patients with aSAH who have undergone successful aneurysm securing will be randomly assigned to receive either aspirin plus standard care or a placebo plus standard care. The study drug will be started within 48 hours of undergone successful aneurysm securing and continued for not less than 10 days and not more than 14 consecutive days. The main goal is to compare the rate of favorable functional outcomes at 3 months between the two groups. Secondary goals include evaluating the incidence of delayed cerebral ischemia, cerebral infarction, mortality, and safety outcomes such as major bleeding events.

Intranasal Sphenopalatine Ganglion Blockade for Headaches Following Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

In patients with bleeding from a brain aneurysm, severe headache is the most common complaint. However, the pain is difficult to treat. The use of standard pain medications is common, but pain control remains poor. Additionally, pain medicines have multiple side effects including sedation, interference with breathing, intestinal cramping, low blood pressure, and the risk of addiction. In the present study, the investigators will examine the use of a medication to block the sphenopalatine ganglion which is a bundle of nerves that includes nerves that cause head pain. This block is performed by spraying numbing medication into the back of the nasal cavity on both sides. This particular pain medication does not have the side effects discussed above. The purpose of the study is to see if this treatment will decrease pain without causing unwanted side effects. All patients in the study will receive standard pain medicine as needed for headache. Information will be collected from the patient's medical chart on the amount of pain medication used and the amount of pain the patient describes having. The average pain will be calculated for the first 24 hours the patient is in the hospital. At that point, the patient will receive pain medication sprayed into the back of the nasal cavity on both sides. Patients will also receive this treatment 3 days later. Following these treatments, information will be obtained on the average amount of pain, and how much other pain medication is used. The investigators will look at the amount of pain and the amount of other pain medicine used over the first 24 hours before the nasal pain medicine treatment and compare it to the time after the treatments to see if the amount of pain decreases and if the amount of other pain medicine needed decreases as well. Six months after discharge, the patient will be contacted by phone to find out more information about how much head pain they had after discharge from the hospital.

Correcting Hypocapnia in Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.

Based on the clinical observation that over half of the patients in the management of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage(aSAH) present with spontaneous hyperventilation, which is significantly associated with delayed cerebral ischemia and poor neurological outcomes, this prospective pilot study is designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of normobaric facemask oxygen for hypocapnia in aSAH.

DIND in Patients With aSAH : Real World Study

In recent years, with the active application of clinical monitoring and treatment methods, the survival rate of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) has improved, but still a certain proportion of patients develop chronic and disabling neurological deficits, namely delayed ischemic neurological deficits (DIND). The incidence of DIND is not clear, and the causes are diverse. Symptomatic vasospasm is only one of the possible causes, and early diagnosis is difficult. Up to now, there is no gold standard for diagnosis and no relevant treatment guidelines. Given these reasons, this study intends to conduct a prospective multicenter observational study to collect relevant information on diagnostic methods (neurological symptoms in clinical examinations or changes in monitoring by instruments) and treatment methods, describe the incidence of delayed cerebral ischemia (DIND) in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), evaluate the different treatment strategies adopted by participating centers, and compare these strategies in terms of mortality and short-term and long-term neurological outcomes, and describe the indications, usefulness, and treatment intensity of intracranial pressure monitoring of the brain parenchyma during SAH in patients. Study design: This study is a multicenter, prospective, observational study. The study subjects are patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage as the primary diagnosis, admitted to the intensive care unit and receiving treatment. The treatment of patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and delayed cerebral ischemia (DIND) is the responsibility of the professional medical and surgical teams of each center. Study period: The enrollment period is 12 months from the start of ethical approval, and the follow-up period is 12 months after the onset. Inclusion criteria: ① Age ≥ 18 years; ② Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (confirmed by DSA/CTA); ③ Admitted to the intensive care unit; ④ Signed informed consent. Exclusion criteria: ① Unidentified cause of subarachnoid hemorrhage (no visible aneurysm); ② Traumatic SAH; ③ Complicated with brain tumors or arteriovenous malformations. Endpoints: Primary endpoints: The occurrence of suspected DIND: Whether it is indicated by neurological clinical examination (such as the patient being conscious or in a light sedated state), or by the monitoring of instruments (if clinical examination is impossible), suggesting the possibility of DIND, regardless of whether there is imaging confirmation or not, can be considered as suspected DIND. Secondly endpoints: - The clinical application of diagnostic and monitoring methods in the identification and management of DIND in patients with aSAH. * Evaluation of mortality and neurological functional prognosis (GOSE and mRS) at 6 months and 12 months after onset. * Comparison of changes in intracranial pressure (ICP) in patients with ICP monitoring and the intensity of the treatment received (Therapy Intensity Level, TIL). Sample size: The enrollment will be as much as possible during the enrollment period (totally approximately 1000 cases).

Efficacy of Scalp Block in Managing Post Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Headache in Critically Ill Patients. A Single Centre Randomized Controlled Trial

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a devastating neurological disorder associated with significant mortality and morbidity rates, arising not just from the hemorrhage itself but also because of the catastrophic multisystem sequelae that can accompany the condition. Rupture of an intracranial aneurysm accounts for up to 85% of instances of SAH, occurring in approximately 3 to 25 people per 100,000 annually in most populations. Treatment of aneurysmal SAH (aSAH) includes prevention of re-bleeding, evacuation of space-occupying hematomas, management of hydrocephalus, and prevention of secondary cerebral insult. Severe headache is the predominant characteristic symptom of aSAH, developing almost instantaneously at ictus in 50% of cases and continuing into the first days. Its severity has a variety of physiological and psychological effects on the patient. Scalp blocks have been suggested to alleviate this headache in case series. However, there is no strong evidence supporting this intervention. In this study, we aim to assess the impact of scalp blocks on headache reduction in patients undergoing endovascular treatment of an aneurysm (coiling or flow diversion) with aneurysmal subarachnoid bleeding.

What safety problems do participants have when received elevating blood pressure measurement? Participants will: Receive elevating or lowering blood pressure therapy in 72 hours after randomization, in order to maintain blood pressure within predefined target ranges Receive follow-up at 30 days, 90 days, and 180 days after randomization
